Stand Well Back - Expansion Tank Cap Question

[darbyp]

I have read pretty much all of the threads on which cap goes where, so I am not going to get into that again, but my S3 has a pressurised cap on both the swirl and expansion tank.

So my question is........where can I get a plain cap from as my local Halfrauds only stocked pressurised ones?

Thanks

Get one from the dealer, I did.

That's great - You won't have to worry if they are the wrong way round then...

Excellent company, if anyone downloads the catalogue make a note of the "Solderless Nipples" on page 8, very handy if kept with a length of cable in the event of a throttle cable snapping.Temporary of course.

There is a suitable solderless nipple on the heater control cable, conveniently placed at the back of the engine bay, and just begging to donate itself to a roadside repair.

Well spotted!
I may as well put my spare one on there now as well for safe keeping.
